Sports News / By /

Cory Youmans’ name has been floating around the internet since he caught the ball on New York Yankees’ Aaron Judge’s 62nd homer of the season on Tuesday night. And he would have been offered an offer of $2 million.

The Dallas native deserves credit for being in the right place at the right time to catch the front row at Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers. With the valuable object in his possession, Youmans was then escorted by security forces to avoid defections.

When asked about his plans with the ball by reporters who managed to get him on his way out, Youmans said he didn’t know yet.

“That’s a good question! I hadn’t thought of that,” he said, before being congratulated by fans on his way.

Youmans is a vice president of a local branch of Fisher Investments. According to USA Today, the company does $197 billion in global business, but the Texan isn’t rich — at least not yet — contrary to rumors.

Also, the businessman would be married to a journalist who works for local TV station Bri Amaranthus. Taking to Twitter, where she responded to her spouse’s feat, she says she’s a former ABC show “The Bachelor.”

Of course, the lucky fan who has a ticket in Section 31 will get all sorts of crazy offers in the coming days. However, a famous Tustin, California auctioneer has already made a serious bid of $2 million.

JP Cohen told the New York Post that he had already texted Cory Youmans but was waiting for a response. He will email her soon.

“We hope he accepts our offer. We would appreciate a follow-up. The time of [la vendre] is now or very soon. This is an exciting event in baseball history. We often work with the Yankees Museum and would love to share this ball with fans in an exhibit and work with the Yankees to make this happen,” the sports collectibles veteran explained.

Rather than sell the ball, Youmans might as well return it to Judge, who broke the American League’s one-season home run record. The previous mark of 61 had belonged to Roger Maris since 1961, and the big number 99 matched it last week.

“I don’t know where she is,” Judge said after the game. We’ll see what happens with it. It would be great to have it back, but it’s a memory for a fan. He caught a good catch and he has all the rights to it.
